This is my thinking as well. As you advance up the ladder of business, you get some unexpected benefits. The higher I go, I feel the less "tough" I have to be, as those under me are being tough for me. I find the less overtime and "skill work" I have to do, because those under me are doing that. Compared to my younger self I'm much less stressed and just overall nicer to staff, clients, etc. If I had some narcissistic level of tunnel vision I'd say I'm like this because I'm a good person - see how amazing I am? In reality, I'm only like this because others are suffering for me and the lack of suffering allows me to act a certain way. Slim doesn't seem to realize this, or like most public figures, makes public statements for his own political ends not out of belief (remaining likeable, etc). This was recently addressed by this great Atlantic article, "Why It Pays to be a Jerk" http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/06/why-it-pays-to-be-a-jerk/392066/ http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/06/why-it-p... Personally, I'm a little surprised we havent moved to a 6 hour work day. I feel between 3-5 no one is productive and leaving at 3 ties in nicely when school ends and gets you a couple hours of much needed sunlight and freetime/chores time/family time/exercise time. Funny how pro-family politicians never fight for more hours to spend with your family. I told myself long ago that if any of my little side-projects takes off, I'd make a real effort to implement the 6 hour workday. So far, no luck, but I feel its feasible. Most places I've worked at have a unwritten rule of no meetings and no "real" work after 3:30 or so. 9-1 seems to be when everything gets done.
